    Default Who is your favourite Basic Beast Wars Transformer?

    This poll is just looking at the pre-1998 Basics, Basics from 1998 onwards will be dealt with separately when we look at Transmetals, Transmetal 2s and Fuzors (so calm your farms). Due to poll size limitations, I've not included any BotCon exclusive Basics, so if that happens to your favourite then you'll need to 'manually' vote for them via a direct post.

    Also, we're just looking at who was your favourite Beast Wars toy at the time that these toys were current - for many of us G1ers it'd be our adolescence or early adulthood rather than childhood, but for our younger members these may very well be your childhood favourites - but whichever is the case, please vote according to what was (and may still be) your favourite, not necessarily what is your favourite now.

    My favourite then is the same as now -- Terrorsaur. The sculpting on that toy is just beautiful and I love how the wings majestically form up on the back of the robot. I also like how the purple helmet and hands offsets the red on the rest of the toy, which I've always felt was something lost in the show model (which I think is based on an earlier prototype of Terrorsaur). I also really like the design of the gun and how it neatly stows away behind the robot head in beast mode. Just a gorgeous toy that's so much fun to play with.

    And of course, 9 points of ball-socket articulation on these simple and cheap flipchangers puts all contemporary One Step Changers to shame. Interesting to see that toys released in 1996 are still massively outclassing current day toys. If you take any of these toys and place them next to an AoE or RiD One Stepper, it's abundantly apparent that there's no competition. Take a toy like Terrorsaur and place him next to say One Step Changer Thunderhoof. Even adjusting for inflation, Terrorsaur still works out to be a cheaper toy, representing absolutely superior value for money.

    Had to go with Rattrap. Terrorsaur is a close second
